reminds me of the people in milwaukee. the mayor of that city has been trying to get light rail there for years, but the proposal keeps being overturned.

yes, i am. i'm currently working towards my bachelor's in social work and only have 2 more classes to take before graduation. problem is, i'm so fed up with school right now (especially after a long and trying semester taking statistics) that i'm ready to drop out, move to arizona and transfer my credits. right now i'm not sure what i want to do -- graduate in may or move to arizona next summer. one thing i do know is that i will be moving to arizona next year...it's just a matter of when.

i'd also like to complete my master's in social work with a minor in psychology. from there, i'd like to earn my P.h.D. in psychiatry, but as of yet, i don't know where i will be going to school. if i move to phoenix and like the U of A's program in either of those fields, i will continue my education there.

ah you're graduating in May? then you better finish it. Because most schools usually accept only courses for "General Education" requirements but as for major degree - you'll have to start over. This is up to University department deans to decide on transfer credits but chance is - you'll have to start over.

and plus - if I recall correctly.... your tuition is paid for by your state and you will not get that same benefit in Arizona since you have to be its resident for at least a year (assuming it's same policy as in NJ and NY).

thanks for the hug! *hugs back*

YES! i managed to pull off an "a-" in stats this semester, but don't ask me how i did it because i have no idea. :lol:

fortunately, that's the only stats course i need to take for my undergraduate degree.

i'll have to take 2 more additional stats courses for my master's (and more for my Ph.D.), but will worry about that when the time comes.

nope. the stats courses can be postponed until i start my master's degree. i only have 2 more courses to take (a social work class that i take in addition to my final semester of field placement and a diversity class). then i'm *done*! :dance2:

We have 1/2 inch of ice. We went very slowly to the mall. Lucky only about a block away from our house.

I bought 3 calendars at half price. Words, humor, and ferrets.:)

Going back to the mall tonight for dinner. (husband on vacation) Yay!
